Dear Students,
I’d like to bring to your attention a great opportunity coming up in
early June, to participate in both the International Microwave
Symposium, and RFIC Symposium. Both of these events are part of
Microwave Week and will be held at the Downtown Convention Center in
Seattle, June 2-7th. This is the largest wireless event of
its kind, held once a year, someone where in North America. We are
fortunate this year to have the conference in Seattle, see below
websites for details on the conference.
We are currently looking for student volunteers from across the
country. Given that our conference is in Seattle, I think it would be
tremendous to have a strong presences from the University of Washington;
rumor is that quite a few students from WSU an OSU have already signed
up. J I would encourage any
student with an interest in wireless related research to seriously
consider volunteering for the conference. To submit an application to
volunteer, please use the following website.
There are A LOT of perks associated with volunteering for the conference and these include,
- Free conference registration
- Free registration for a workshop for each full day of additional work (half day for a half day workshop).
- Food and beverages will be provided during hours of service, including breakfast, lunch, and snacks. What student doesn’t love a free meal!
- Eligibility to win great raffle prizes and have the opportunity to attend special events.
- An invitation to attend the Student Reception and the Student Awards Luncheon.
UW
will also have a booth during the entire conference. This will
highlight some of the research that takes place both within our
department, and across the University.
For any questions related to student volunteering, please contact Ryan Pang, rpang.IMS2013@gmail.com,
who is the University Relations Chair. Below and in the attachments,
you will find the official call for student volunteers. The deadline to
submit an application is May 1st,
so please consider applying very soon. Again, it would be great to have
a lot of students from the University of Washington, given that the
conference is in Seattle, so please sign up soon!
Cheers,
Chris

Dear Students,
We’d
like to take this opportunity to invite the University of Washington to
showcase your school’s activities and projects from a complimentary
booth at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) this June 4-6. The
IMS is one of the largest technical conferences and trade shows,
covering all aspects of high frequency technologies and industry. The
conference was last held in the Pacific Northwest in 2002 and we are
excited to once again host IMS in Seattle at the Washington State
Convention Center, where we will be able to focus the world’s attention
on our universities, industries, culture, and environment.
I
hope you will seriously consider making a reservation for a university
booth. We believe that it will provide your school and your projects
exposure to thousands of engineers and technical leaders in the radio
frequency, microwave, and millimeter wave industries. The opportunity
to interact with leading industry professionals could lead to
collaboration with key industry partners or inspire your next great
innovation. Meeting the many product representatives could also lead to
invaluable contacts that ultimately provide sources of products and
processes necessary for your continued research.
The
IMS would also like to invite your students to serve as volunteers who
help with many tasks that are critical to the success of the conference.
IMS student volunteers receive a valuable introduction to the
engineering community and to the high frequency industry. The experience
of volunteering at IMS can lead to industry contacts that may
eventually lead into a job and a career. Student volunteers also
receive some great perks, including:
- Free conference registration
- Free registration for a workshop for each full day of additional work (half day for a half day workshop).
- Food and beverages will be provided during hours of service, including breakfast, lunch, and snacks. What student doesn’t love a free meal!
- Eligibility to win great raffle prizes and have the opportunity to attend special events.
- An invitation to attend the Student Reception and the Student Awards Luncheon.
Please
encourage your students to participate in what we believe is an
invaluable experience. Students can find more information, including the
registration form, at http://www.ims2013.org/student-volunteers.html. The deadline to register as a student volunteer is May 1st. Any questions should be directed to Ryan Pang (rpang.IMS2013@gmail.com, 425-237-9549).
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to be a part of IMS. Please contact Candi Wooldridge (Candi@mpassociates.com, 303-530-4562)
for more information on university booths. Booth registration is done
on a first-come-first-served basis; the deadline to register is April 15th.
Additional conference information can be found on the IMS website: http://www.ims2013.org. We look forward to seeing you at the conference.
Sincerely,
Tom Raschko
IMS 2013 General Chair
